What Do You Use In Your Mineral Site

[recurve60#]

Don't know exactly what it was, but back when I made a lot of salt licks, I would seek out any location with exposed red clay. For whatever reason, red clay salt licks saw the most usage over time. Perhaps it is the high iron content of red clay.

Red clay actually holds nutrients very well, its just hard for a root to take hold because its so dense.

I"m new to TN and am confused whether I can use mineral links at all. I live in Henry County near Paris. Can anyone shed light on this?

I just drop the trophy rock on the ground and in s matter of days the deer are licking it away. Year round.

Nothing wrong with trophy rock. I've had good luck with it too. My experience is trophy rock has more variability. Some sites, trophy rock draws 'um in the first night. Other sites they just hit it on occasion. The method I provided lasts a lot longer for less money because you are mixing 50# of granular with about equal parts clay then hitting it with the molasses. It's a 100# mineral site with something sweet to draw them in verses a 20# trophy rock. Glad your having success with the trophy rock. Hope you get a stud this year.
